On the sea, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, and the sea turned from blue to blue-black.
But this perfectly normal change in light seemed to Qin Zhibo like some kind of terrifying change in heaven and earth.
The extremely heavy sound of the surging deep ocean currents sounded in his ears, and his eyes saw a creeping shadow slowly emerging from the sea that ordinary people could not see.
Facing this scene, Qin Zhibo felt that his stomach was squirming, and the contents in his stomach were churning, and a feeling of psychological and physical discomfort swept through his whole body.
Qin Zhibo:Will-2
In this vast world, Qin Zhibo felt that he was an extremely small existence.
Send a mayfly to heaven and earth, a drop in the ocean.
This should have been a normal emotion, but Qin Zhibo was extremely resistant in his heart.
Qin Zhibo knew that what he was resisting was not something else, nor the sea water itself.
But those indescribable shadows on the Pacific Ocean
Qin Zhibo:Will-3
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from his ears, interrupting the disturbing thoughts in Qin Zhibo's mind.
Mao Lilan and Conan, who were standing nearby, saw that Qin Zhibo had not spoken for a long time and looked at the sea with a painful look in his eyes, so they quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Mr. Qin? What's wrong with you?"
In Mao Lilan's eyes, Qin Zhibo's complexion suddenly deteriorated visibly, which made people a little worried.
Mao Lilan helped Qin Zhibo to a tree at the edge of the forest and rested against it. There was a little space for his vision to move, and Qin Zhibo felt better.
Conan next to him also looked at Qin Zhibo with worried and curious eyes, because this was not the first time Qin Zhibo had done this.
Although Qin Zhibo is an excellent detective with excellent observation and reasoning skills, he can always do something that goes against common sense at unexpected times and places.
For example, in a daze, according to Conan's recollection, Qin Zhibo often fell into a daze at crime scenes.
Sometimes, Qin Zhibo would be in a daze looking at a painting.
Sometimes, it's a wall.
Sometimes, it's a corridor.
Sometimes, it's a book.
In short, Qin Zhibo would often be in a daze, as if some otherworldly inspiration suddenly occurred in his brain, or his soul left his body and flew to another world.
Of course, this may also be Qin Zhibo's unique process when solving cases, mainly relying on daze, and the object of daze has basically nothing to do with the case.
Only this time, Qin Zhibo looked at the sea in a daze, his expression a little painful, as if the sea brought back some painful memories deep in his mind.
This reminded Conan that Qin Zhibo was from Hawaii. He must have lived by the sea since he was a child, and he must be very familiar with the sea.
Such people will make painful expressions when they see the sea. The only reason is that some relatives or very close friends in the family were buried in the sea.
Old PTSD.
In this regard, Conan, who is also a patient, could only lean in and give a meaningful comfort.
"Please grief"
Qin Zhibo: "?"
Mao Lilan: "Conan, what are you talking about?"
Conan: "."
Looking at Qin Zhibo's confused expression, Conan was confused.
Is my reasoning wrong?
Ah this
Just when the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Taketomi Masao and Kume Yoshitsugi, who had left first to get their cameras on the boat, ran back panting and brought an "exciting" news.
"The boat is gone! The boat we came on is gone!"
When everyone rushed back to the trestle docked at Dachuan, they all stared at the empty sea.
Not having a boat means that these people will follow in the footsteps of the man who starved to death a year ago.
However, when Conan quickly proposed to call Uncle Maori to record the program in the morning, Kogoro Maori already knew that they would come to the island to rehearse today while he was still half awake.
So as long as you wait patiently, rescue may be late, but it will never be absent.
At Mao Lilan's suggestion, everyone decided to go to an abandoned villa on the beach to wait for rescue.
After entering the villa and getting out of the sea, Qin Zhibo immediately resurrected with full health. He easily found candles, candlesticks and matches in the cabinet of the villa, bringing a ray of light to this lonely and terrifying Far Cry night.
"Oh! I didn't expect that there are so many candles in this long-abandoned villa. How lucky you are!"
One of the locals, Noburo Ikema, was very happy, but Qin Zhibo knew that this was not luck, but the daily necessities left by Keiwa Shimabukuro when he lived here before.
While there was nothing else to do, Qin Zhibo asked several locals about the robbery case four years ago.
This time it was Noburo Ikema who took the initiative to answer questions. He said with a serious face: "Actually, it should have been five years ago that the only daughter of the mayor of Jincheng Town, Miss Xiaodu, was suddenly kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown."
"Another year later, a group of robbers suddenly broke into the mayor's house late at night and stole a family heirloom worth hundreds of millions of yen - a golden screen."
"The housekeeper who answered the phone call from the gangsters said that these gangsters and those who kidnapped Miss Xiaodu were basically the same group."
"Later, Mayor Jincheng wanted to use money to redeem Jin Pingfeng and Miss Xiaodu, but the money was spent and the matter was not completed. In the end, nothing happened."
At this time, Taketomi Masao on the side took over the conversation, "Although Mr. Kaneshiro is the mayor, he himself is helpless about this."
"It is rumored that he was so stingy that he did not pay the ransom when Miss Xiaodu was kidnapped five years ago, so he was retaliated by the bandits."
"At that time, this gang of robbers also killed a maid in the mayor's house. The timid housekeeper immediately chose to resign."
Taketomi Masao's tone of voice was somewhat resentful, while Daito Mikihiko's eyebrows trembled as he stood behind him.
Because he was the mayor's butler back then, but he was not afraid of bandits, but chose to resign in order to avenge his maid fiancée who was killed by the bandits.
It's just that it's hard for him to tell Masao Taketomi, his former brother-in-law-to-be, these words now, after all, his hands are already stained with the blood of two people.
The next step is to find a way to trick the last member of the bandit group into revealing his true identity.
Thinking in his mind, Daito Mikihiko lit a cigarette, followed the imaginary script and went directly to the teacup ashtray prepared in advance in the cupboard, preparing to use the multiple cigarette butts inside to scare everyone, saying that there were other people on the island.
But he put his hand into the cupboard and groped around for a while, but Mikihiko Daito couldn't find the performance props he had prepared in advance.
what happened?
Where is the teacup inside?
Mikihiko Daito quickly stretched his head to look inside the cabinet to see what was going on.
At this time, a voice came from behind Mikihiko Daito.
"Are you looking for the ashtray?"
"There was a teacup in the cupboard just now, but I thought it was too dirty, so I poured it out."
"Do you want to use it?"
Qin Zhibo handed the empty tea cup to Mikihiko Daito.
Looking at the empty tea cup that was completely unconvincing, Daito Mikihiko forced a smile on his face and took the tea cup.
“Thank you”
But in fact, Dadong Mikihiko only wanted to say one word to Qin Zhibo.
